Just had this pop in to my inbox from NFU Cymru:

The Chief Veterinary Officer for Wales, Dr Gavin Watkins, has confirmed the presence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza H5N1 at a premises near Dwyran on Anglesey.

A 3km Protection Zone and 10km Surveillance Zone have been declared around the infected premises, to limit the risk of disease spread.

Within these zones, bird movements and gatherings are restricted and all holdings that keep birds must be declared. The measures are stricter in the 3km Protection Zone. Full information available here.

At the time of writing the identified 10Km zone extends in broad terms, from the outskirts of Groeslon in Gwynedd in the South to Rhostrehwfa in the North and to Llanedwen on Anglesey and Bethel in Gwynedd to the East.

The UK health agencies advise that the risk to public health from the virus is very low and the UK food standards agencies advise that avian influenzas pose a very low food safety risk for UK consumers.




Only a cockstride from Dwyran so I wonder if they will be collecting Starlings .............??????????????

One can only hope that they are especially vulnerable, dirty baastards!
